Frequently Asked Questions

TradeMark Africa (TMA) is an aid for trade organisation established in 2010 that works to make trade faster, more inclusive and more sustainable across the continent, partnering with governments, the private sector and civil society.

We work in more than 15 countries across East Africa, the Horn of Africa and West Africa, with a growing continental footprint along Africa's major trade corridors.

TMA was founded in 2010 and has since grown into one of Africa's leading aid for trade organisations, delivering programmes with partner governments and development partners.

Aid for trade is support that helps developing economies build the infrastructure, systems and capacity they need to trade more effectively and benefit from global and regional markets.
